Faculty Email - Updated Note Taker Process (TEXT ONLY)

Some students with disabilities qualify to receive a note taker accommodation in classes and labs.
The names of the students receiving notes are not disclosed to the volunteer or to other students.
The note taker accommodation is usually a supplement to the notes that the student with a disability takes in class. Faculty are not required to provide their own notes to a student.
Disability Services recruits note takers for eligible students via email. The accommodation of a note taker is noted on the letter of accommodation provided to faculty.

Student Responsibilities:
Complete check-in early for semester accommodations.
Provide Letter of Accommodation to the instructor.
Attend all classes unless there is a medical/emergency excuse.
Take notes in class.
Check email daily for notes.
Do not share notes with other students.
Notify DS office if notes are not received regularly after check-in.
Notify DS office if withdrawing from the class or if accommodation
is not needed.

Note Taker Program Procedure:
The DS office emails entire class requesting a volunteer note taker.
One note taker is selected per class. Copies of the notes are provided to eligible students in that class electronically.
The note taker uploads notes to a centralized website and the notes are automatically forwarded to the eligible student(s).
If a note taker cannot be secured after multiple email attempts, DS will contact the instructor for assistance.
Effective Fall 2009, the note taker program is completely paperless.
